ORIGIN OF THE JUBrLEE. word is Hebrew, and means liberty. It primarily signiied the blast of trumpet, as the year of jubilee was ushered in with blowing of horns all over the land. It was celebrated by the Jews every fiftieth year ,or the year following the cycle of "seven weeks of years" and began on the tenth of Tisri (0ctober) which was the great day of atone- nent. In this year there was no sowing or reaping, all depending on the spontan- eous products, of the earth. It was whole years holiday, and in that year all lands which had been alienated in the whole pe- riod, either by misfortune or folly, revert ed to their former owners.

 his army came down and laid siege to il
 there were only three regiments within
 the Notifications upon whomrthe general I in command could who'll yAreay sA.
 Our supplies were brought principally
 by boat up the Nansemond river, from l Norfolk or Portsmouth, but, one night un- der cover of the darkness, the rebels threw up earthworks and mounted five brass pieces in sharp bend of the river, and called the place s'Fort Huger." This fort wasson & high bluff and proved to be very troublesome, for they could train their guns on any boat going up or down the river on either side the point, and 1t Was to get rid of this trouble that the general in command planned this of which now speak.
 About mile above this fort was boat landing, and also long high pile of wood, and if the boat was curtainad, troops could be brought ap shr0ag M the .favine and put upon this boat without the knowledge of the rebels on the other side of the river.
 One afternoon, about six o'clock, one company of 89th New York volunteers and one company of the 9th Conn. volunteers, was very quietly put npon this boat. They had nothing with them but their canteens and rifles, not gun was loaded, but bay oneta were fixed they seemed to know by intuition what was expsct. d of Them. When all we're ready the boat quietly steamed out intos the river, and mRde as though she was going by the fort and down the river; the captain on the high deck could see the men in the fort loading and training, their gunss to'Fake the boat as she turned the point, but when opposite the bluff she turned short and damned her prov hard into the land, as soon as she struck the curtains went up and the men iunped out smad every Inansfor himself waaltsfor that fort, and in less lime than it takes yousto read this account we had the whole thing, and that right in the face of the whole of Longstreet's army-two hun dred men, two hundred stand of arms and five splendid brass pieces. Gunboats were in position above and below inc point which could give terrible raking cross fire. The prisoners were hurriedly put upan, our boat. and taken across the river. The two companies were left in the face and eyes of the whole of Longstreet's army to hold the point, which, with the help of the gunboats, they were enabled to do, and were not relieved until four o'clock the next day. The rebels made an attempt abont nine o'clock in the evening tO regain the Hort, but were unsuccessful An open attempt to take this. fort would probably have cost many lives.

A correspondent of the Willimantic Journal writes
 The recent action of the Willimantic Congregational church reminds those fa- miliar with the history of New England churches of 8 somewhat similar case at Mansfield Center in the early part of the present century.
 The following is an extract in substance from centennial discourse preached by Rev. K. B. Glidden in 1876:
 Mr.John Sherman was ordained over the church in 1797. It was stipulated in his settlement that if two thirds of the voters of the society should become dissatisfied with him he should after six months notice, resign his pastorate. He was man of ac- complished scholarship, winning manners, and very attractive preacher. At the time of his settlement he seemed thor oughly sound in orthodox faith and sub scSibed to the creed of the churoh. The majority of the people became very much attached to him. But after about three years he became a decided Uniterian and desired to change the church creed in re- gard to the Trinity. He made no conceal ment of his AriRnism, and he carried the majority of the church and society with him. The dissenting members, headed by Dea. Constant Southworth, a very infiuen- tial man in the town, who made complaint of the pastors unsoundness in doctrine to the Windham association. Neighboring churches became alarmed and the Wind ham association of churches took some in- itiatOry measures to bring him to trial. To avoid this Mir. Sherman and his friends carried vote in the church to withdraw from the Windham Oonsociation of Con- gregational churches and adopt the Pres byterian form of church government Mir. s. and his friends could then say to the con- sociation, ''You have no jurisdiction" Yet the consociation being in sympathy with the aggrieved members, encouraged them to bring the matter to an issue by disci- pline. After considerable discussion, how ever, MT. Sherman and & majority of the church decided to call conucil to investi- gate the case and to advise as to the dis mission of the pastor. The majority of the church had their own choice of ministers and churches and convened 8 council made up of both Unitarian and Congregational ministers and churches. The council, to the surprise of all parties, advised the dis. mission of the pastor, and Mir. Sherman, al- thongh invited to remain by majority of the church, very manfully took himself out of fhe way. This was in ISO5.
 The church became united under the passionate of Rev. s. F. Williams, a man oi unusual learning and eloquence, and sound orthodox in the faith, who was settled over the church and society in 1907. All signs of Unitarianism and division soon disap peared, and although the church continued for 8 time under Presbyterian government 1t was glad to renew its association with tho Windham County association. State and local conferences were not then organized
 It is hoped that the trouble in the Willi mantic church will have as peaceful and happy an issue. ar

LABOR REFORM CRANK STARS A MAN IN
 James Murphy, an overseer in the Reynolds woolen mill, was brutally stab bed by Patrick Denny at Monson last Thursday evening, the assailant laying his victims side and abdomen open with a gash about 12 inches long, and the wound will probably prove fatal. Denny was ar- rested promptly and put in the lock up, while Dr. N. w. Rand attended the vic- tim. Denny ia farm hand, who has been working for Peter Hayes, about half & mile out of the village. He has been much excited over labor question, and addressed @ crowd on a street corner on the subject Thursday afternoon. If not partially de- mented he was certainly cranky, for he has had an unaccountable dislike for Mur- .phy. He somehow associated Murphy with the cause of the laboringmRn's trou- ble, and has followed him about About 6 o'clock Thursday evening he accosted Murphy and was soon engaged in lively discussion. Before the crowd could inter. fere, Denny had drawn sharp knife and stabbed Murphy in the side. Intense ex- citement followed, for Murphy is a popu- lar man and much respected in the village. Dr. Rand found that the wound began on Murphy's left side under the arm pit, and extended diagonally across the body, thro' the muscles on the ribs and entering the abdomen. It was not thought safe to make thorough examination of the wound Thursday evening, but it is feared that the murderous instrument entered the ab- dominal cavity, in which case peritonitis and g fatal termination are feared. The instrument with which Denny did his work was not found Thursday evening, but was probably a very sharp knife, or g dirk, as 1t made Q clean cut through Murphy's vest and heavy blue shirt. Murphy is about 57 years old and Denny about 40, and both men have families. Monson has been singularly free from such tragedies, and the stabbing Thursday evening, taking place as it did on the side walk in the very center of the village, pro duces a sensation.
